Organizations Filed Purposes:
The primary mission is to connect resources with needs in the local community. Kaleidoscope Community Services(KCS)is about people, community, and connections. KCS partners with agencies such as our local school districts, adult and juvenile probation programs, Foster Care programs, as well as other local social service oriented nonprofit programs to identify pressing community needs. Once those needs have been identified we then seek to build collaborations between faith based organizations, other community organizations and local businesses to effectively engage and complete those projects.
Friends Helping Friends: In 2019, KCS provided financial help to many who were in crisis during the winter months for motel rooms, car repairs, identificaiton cards, utility bills, food, housing rent, prescription medications, dental work, and more.KCS continued to help individuals and groups interested in assisting the poor by training them how to collaboratively connect to other groups serving those of meager means in our community, how to serve in ways that promote missional unity in the Church; how to provide support to one another; and how to grow deeper in their faith through the crucible of serving.In April of 2019, through our FHF Program, KCS launched a new work services training program for homeless persons. This program hired part-time and full time employmees in the landscaping and home improvement industry. Participants received employment, case management, housing placement assistance, and job training.
2ND STREET COMMONS: The downtown venue was opened in Coeur dAlene, Idaho in January 2014, with a mission to serve the local homeless population in a comfortable, safe and free living room environment. The end of December 2019 marked 71 months of continual operation for 2nd Street Commons.During 2019, volunteers through KCS and its collaborative partners teamed up to provide crucial services to those in need in our local community. In 2019 over 35 different volunteers using the 2nd Street Commons (2SC) venue had over 7000 "points of contact" with guests who received some type of service, whether it was a meal, a practical resource (clothes, camping gear, etc.), or relational encounter with a 2SC or partner ministry volunteer. The 2SC venue continued to be the meeting place for a variety of groups, their mission being bringing respite and hope to the poor, homeless, lonely, and drug/alcohol addicted.Volunteers from one of our collaborative partners, called 2nd Chance Discipleship (2CD), arrived at 2SC at 5:30am Monday through Saturday to open the building to our local homeless community. 2CD volunteers served coffee and breakfast, conducted Bible discussions (not mandatory), and distributed resources, as needed, until 8:00am each morning. The efforts of these thoughtful, kind, and generous people combined for over 2500 hours of volunteer service during 2019. Additionally, from 8:00am through 9:00am Monday through Friday, KCS volunteers and staff members interacted with guests who desired additional help by connecting them to local resources and/or providing practical resourses as needed.From January 2019 to the end of July 2019 one of our nonprofit collaborative partners, the Kootenai Recovery Community Center (KRCC), operated out of the 25C venue. KRCC paid and volunteer staff offered a variety of recovery services for individuals and groups, operating Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. During that time period KRCC had over 1200 "points of contact" with persons seeking or utilizin recovery services. Their staff included two paid staff and three volunteer staff persons.
Community Collaborative: In 2019 KCS continued to advocate for our local homeless community by convening discussions with various groups, mainly faith-based, who desired to be helpful in advancing iniatives that build support for local homeless.
